    Add a "Copy Info" option to the menu->info

    Rich D · 3 · Last reply by André Jeromin

    Usually the first response From João to a request for help is "Tasker Version ?"  especially when dealing with betas. It would be very useful to have a menu option like Menu -> Info > copy tasker info.

    This would set the clipboard to all data João would feel necessary to properly assess help requests. Such as Tasker version, app factory version, android version, device, rooted, ect..

    Search by Task / Profile / Scene

    Tasker Pro · 1 · Last reply by agnostic-apollo

    Currently Tasker's Search feature doesn't let you specify whether to constrain the search to just Tasks, or just Profiles, or Scenes, etc.

    The current drop-down menu only lets you specify "Contains", "Matches", or "Regex" and the toggles at the bottom are "USER DATA", "FEATURES". etc.

    So I guess adding another separate dropdown menu for "All", "Tasks", "Profiles", "Scenes" would work. Or - add them as Toggles so that combinations could be selected.

    Accessibility Service Permission optional for Notification clicked event

    Agraetz83 · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    The Notification Clicked Event only needs Accessibility Service Permission if you want to read notifications put up by other apps. In Kid App development this event is often used to read notification clicks on notifications the Kid App put up itself. If you add this event to your app, tasker adds the accessibility service permission to the manifest and there is nothing you can do about it atm. 

    Unless you fancy fighting with Google and receive the threat of a permanent ban, you can't use accessibility service permission in apps you want to upload to the store.

    I suggest the

    Show Kid Apps in Recent Apps

    Agraetz83 · 1 · Last reply by Thorfinn Tjums

    I know this was disabled because of some issues back in the day. Would be great, if this could be given another shot. I think app creation needs some love. There are some issues that keep tasker from being great for creating apps that have been overlooked for far too long in my opinion.

    The ability to use OR in the context!

    Ryan Wilson · 19 · Last reply by Cris Andre

    Creating profiles that basicly do the same thing can take up alot of space. So I would like a way to put a OR in the context. Such as wifi connected OR  Bluetooth connected do this or that.

    Or maybe even something in the task such as a if statement have a OR statement. I know there kind of is but would like to have that option alone in Tasker.

    don't check "Min Activate Signal Level" only when activating the WiFi near

    Fabio Spelta · 0 · Posted

    According to the documentation:

     

    http://tasker.dinglisch.net/userguide/en/help/sh_wifi_near.html

     

    Min Activate Signal Level: the minimum signal strength to activate the context. It's ignored once the context is active.

     

    I think this is bad design. It should be checked along with any other possible causes to trigger or not the event. Otherwise it's not possible to choose to activate a task only as long as the condition is true - alias, as long as the device is at a certain range from an AP - and to stop when that is not the case any longer.

     

    Thanks for caring

    Scene "Create Element" Currently Doesn't Allow Actions

    Tasker Pro · 2 · Last reply by Jason77

    Currently when using the "Create Element" action to add an element to an existing scene - there's no way/place to put any Actions for Tap or Long Tap, etc.

    For example the first element type listed in the drop-down menu of "Create Element" is "Button". However it will be a button that does nothing because there's no place to specify the Actions for it ;)

    Manuel focus for the « take picture »

    Nicola · 0 · Posted

    On my previous phone (moto G3), when I set infinity focus on “Take picture” that work really great. But on lot of new phone I tested, infinity focus mode on the take picture feature make blurry photos. 

    After some search I undertending that the range on the focus is no limear. So for exemple if we define the begin of the focus range at 0 and the end at 1000 : 0 focus on a medium point, 250 on infinity and 1000 on the nearest point. 

    So it will be very useful to have a manual focus paramètre where we

    Edit manifest of Kid App

    Agraetz83 · 0 · Posted

    I'd like to be able to edit the manifest of exported Kid Apps. This way I could remove permissions I don't want Tasker to request or add intents.

    I used to use the Notification clicked event in my apps but had to stop using it because Tasker would add the accessibility service permission to my app and there is nothing I can do about it. I don't need nor want this permission because I only read notification clicked events of notifications put up by my app. I was hoping there'd be a solution in time when the accessibility service permission

    improve file system explorer for file/dir selection or allow user to use a third party one

    Macadamia Owl · 0 · Posted

    Its hard to read and not very useful especially for low vision person. If possible find a solution for:

    • Icons, font are too small,
    • colors not well choosen,
    • no preview for pictures,
    • no sorting or searching option
    • no ability to choose number of rows/columns or setting view as a list.

    Or allow user to choose favourite file explorer

    Create a Tasker Clipboard Manager

    Rich D · 0 · Posted

    This would be a huge help in editing. It would act like one of the many clipboard apps except it would contain tasker actions. So you could make folders to keep all of your commonly used actions and of course have access to recently cut actions. You could also include the other feature request and have the ability to save and paste just the "IF" parameter of a action.

    Better documentation on back up

    Rich D · 0 · Posted

    Currently there is  no help text "anywhere" for the correct method to back up data for install on new device. Both the android back up and Tasker's back up should have some "Very Clear" help text on how to get your Tasker data to a new device or just save it for a fresh install on the current device. It should be noted what is and is not backed up with each method. IE currently global variables and all saved projects, profiles, tasks, scenes in there respective folders are not saved in the Tasker Back up. I do not know
